Booking writes the address like this: località Fey Inferiore, Perloz, 11020 Bard.

The Forte di Bard is ten kilometres away, the baptistery of San Giovanni and the parish church of San Lorenzo thirteen, Turin airport seventy-one: the distances are those published by Booking.

The property also declares room service, free parking, wifi and non-smoking rooms.

Outside there is the garden, with the lawn and chairs looking out over the valley. There is no wellness area: Booking indicates no spa, sauna, steam room or pool.

The rule on age is written in the children's conditions block: children are not allowed, and in the house there are no cots and no extra beds. No figure is published for guests, while for check-in the property sets an unusual condition: only guests between eighteen and eighty may register.

Breakfast is continental. In the area there is walking in summer and skiing in winter. The ban on pets, the ban on smoking, the ban on parties and events and the night-time quiet also apply; payment for the reservation goes through Booking.com, but it is worth having cash for extras on site.
